Mission impossible 5 on dvd movie#
This movie series really goes back to those days. It also helps if like me, you grew up watching the old classic actions movies of the '80s with big magnificent set pieces, car chases and gun fights. The stunt work in the movie is absolutely breath taking and worth the purchase alone. If that isn't dedication, I don't know what is.

Cruise even goes so far as to actually climb mountainous cliff faces and skyscrapers for the role. Their chemistry is great to watch with many one liners and jokes that will tickle that funny bone. I think what helps with Mission Impossible is the fact that it appears the reoccurring cast members of Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg love the series, putting every bit of effort into their roles. It's even more rare that the third film is so good that it sets the bar for every one film that follows. It's rare to see a film series not die out after the third film. It's easily the best film of the series in this collection, only to be bested by its direct sequel Mission Impossible: Fallout. It's fun seeing the bad guys one step ahead of Ethan in this one. This film has an excellent villain and is very clever in how it handles the plot. The stakes couldn't be higher for Ethan Hunt, his team and the IMF as the rogue organisation The Syndicate is out to completely destroy them all. The fifth and final film in this collection is Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. Definitely a great follow up to the third film. There's a lot of great dialogue in the film too making the gaps between the action extremely enjoyable. Much like the previous film, Ghost Protocol goes balls to the wall with the stunt work and action set pieces. Ethan Hunt just happens to be in the thick of it and goes rogue as he tries to take down the organisation responsible for the attack. In this one, the spy organisation IMF is shut down after being implicated in a horrendous bombing in the Krelmin, Russia (a fantastic cinematic set piece). The fourth film Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is another great action film. The way the film ends is extremely satisfying and really plays up the relief after such an intense two hours. In terms of story, I found this one to be the best in terms of consistency. I loved this film and thought it had a great cast including the returning Ving Rhames and Billy Crudup.
This film is extremely well paced with great characters as they go through one impressive set piece to another as they chase their villain. This is where the stunts and action set pieces really sky rocket. The stakes become more personal for Ethan Hunt as he goes up against the series' best villain played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Thankfully, things pick up big time with Mission Impossible III. The best thing about this film is watching Tom Cruise's lovely long hair move in slow motion as he dives around the set pieces. It's not a BAD movie but it is underwhelming and easily the weakest of the series. Lots of slow motion gun fights, motorcycles blowing up for no real reason and badly choreographed fight scenes. The film is directed by John Woo and is about the director's usual American film standard. The 2000 sequel features Cruise and the beautiful Thandia Newton going up against the under whelming villain Dougray Scott. In terms of quality I would say the films actually got better as they go on, with the exception of Mission Impossible 2. Either way, it was a consistently good film and convinced me to buy the rest in the Mission Impossible series. The climax to the story is reasonably satisfying if not a bit puzzling in terms of the bad guys motives. The story is simple enough, after a failed mission and a conspiracy arises, Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt goes on his own mission to discover who the mole and traitor is. I liked the fact that it acted as an extension to the original television series featuring the character Jim Phelps, recast with the great actor Jon Voight in the role. It wasn't until a few months ago that I was bored and decided to watch the first film, Mission Impossible (1996) on Netflix and surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's literally all I knew of the series, until earlier this year. The selection of films in this box-set are known to be high intensity action films with many great chases, gun fights and stunts. Over the years I have seen many promotions including the great I Disappear single from Metallica, but I never once caught a film on television. I have to admit that it took me over twenty years to see at least one Mission Impossible film.
